  • Page 16: Slow Cooking

    C O U N T R Y C O T T A G E Slow cooking The slow cook setting gives a very low heat in the oven. It is particularly useful when you are cooking soups, stews and casseroles because the long slow cooking will make cheaper, tougher cuts of meat more tender.

  • Page 17: Frozen Foods

    C O U N T R Y C O T T A G E Soups, casseroles and stews Do not cook casseroles over 3 kg (6lb). Bring to the boil on the hotplate then cook on slow cook. Cook in the middle of the oven or above. Vegetables Cut into small pieces.
